Hi, I ran these commands
$HADOOP_HOME/bin/hadoop fs -mkdir /tmp $HADOOP_HOME/bin/hadoop fs -mkdir /user The directories got created and I can now see the directories using following commands: [hadoop@master bin]$ ./hadoop fs -ls / Found 5 items drwxr-xr-x - hadoop supergroup 0 2012-07-16 14:11 /app drwxr-xr-x - hadoop supergroup 0 2012-07-17 17:41 /hadoop drwxr-xr-x - hadoop supergroup 0 2012-07-18 14:11 /hbase drwxr-xr-x - hadoop supergroup 0 2012-07-19 14:11 /tmp drwxr-xr-x - hadoop supergroup 0 2012-07-19 17:41 /user I can see this data from both the nodes by typing the command ,but i cannot view the directories created in the file path anywhere.Please tell me how to see these directories created in file system. Thanks
